Capturing the Heart of the Game!


At Chris Watkins Photography, I go beyond action shots—I capture the intensity, emotion, and energy that define every game. From game-winning moments to behind-the-scenes reflections, my photography tells the full story of athletes, teams, and competition at every level.

With experience shooting for ESPN, the SEC Network, and the ACC Network, I bring a photojournalistic approach, blending action photography, documentary storytelling, and fine art composition to showcase the raw emotion and determination behind the sport.

Whether you need high-impact game coverage, athlete portraits, or team media days, I deliver dynamic, high-quality sports images that stand out. Let’s capture the heart of the game—schedule a call today!
